Comment (by kcrisman):
> So in fact, I'm not sure if we really need to try to make the
pexpect/readline interface work, when there's already efforts underway for
replacing it by the shared library interface from the new version of
polymake. That is to say, I'm not inclined to spend much time on that.
That's fine with me, but it looked like you didn't have #14116 ready to
test yet (as in having an spkg). And I'm not sure it's possible to
''build'' polymake without the readline. I couldn't find anything about
that, anyway; they do have options for building without the Java viewers,
but not without the command line at all.
Wait, I now understand what you are saying - there will be an error and
the command line version won't run (see, in fact, my comment:16) but maybe
the library interface ''will'' still work. Intriguing idea. I'll check
it out.
> > But how do we disable it needing that - is there yet ''another''
configure option that would disable it?
> The polymake configure script will only ''warn'' about cpan packages not
being available, and it will still install without them. As long as we
don't use the readline features, and as long as we ask the user to install
those other packages from cpan, there is no problem. That is, if those
other packages install correctly on MacOS. Do they?
There was only one other Perl package I had to install, and
{{{
sudo perl -MCPAN -e 'install XML::LibXSLT'
}}}
went fine (the `sudo` was necessary, though).
